Canada Russia Series interesting tournament for you?))

 

[1Gold Standard]

Haven't watched anything from these series of games in more than a decade. Well, not entirely true, I did watch the 1 game McDavid played as a 15 year old his rookie season in the OHL. Hockey Canada should have dropped this from its WJHC prep a long time ago and come up with something better...so, minus mega exceptional prospects, this series holds little interest for me.

Thanks

It's not really a tournament but I do find it interesting. I find it the best preview of the Canadian WJC team before the camps begin. Also gives a chance to get familiar with some of Russia's best players, at least in recent years anyway.

I enjoy watching this series. Been watching it for a bit now. Get an early glimpse of skilled players playing with eachother. I mean, what is there not to like? After these games we won't see any action until Dec 12-15 when we have our trainings camps in St. Catherine's so I'll definitely enjoy this.

 

[hawksfan50]

Amy word on who the Russians will have on their roster for this series?

 

[Kshahdoo]

Amy wprdpn who the Russians will have on their roster for this series?

We have so many good U20 players, so it's really hard to say. But we don't have any great players...

 

[Rabid Ranger]

No Akil Thomas for the OHL squad?

 

[snipes]

I enjoy watching it. It's become a tradition of sorts.

 

[jj cale]

Im with snipes om this one, It has become something of a tradition, an early fall dose of good international hockey. As jack slater said...........its a good chance to see our players and what they could do and you also get a look on some of the better Russian players

 

[tony d]

Great. It's a tournament I always enjoy doing. Nice to see the best prospects competing vs. 1 another.

 

[Atas2000]

No Svechnikov, probably no Kostin. This year's tournament is dull.

 

[tfantasy]

you also get a look on some of the better Russian players

Yeah but Russia never sends their "best" talent

 

[Fantomas]

No Svechnikov, probably no Kostin. This year's tournament is dull.

Many good players participating. Disagree.

 

[MaxV]

No Svechnikov, probably no Kostin. This year's tournament is dull.

This tournament is for evaluating purposes, I would say. It best serves borderline candidates.

Neither Svech nor Kostin should be borderline candidates.

 

[Atas2000]

This tournament is for evaluating purposes, I would say. It best serves borderline candidates.

Neither Svech nor Kostin should be borderline candidates.

Evaluating - yes. Borderline only - no.

I wanted to see how Svechnikov looks in a meaningful jersey. As well as Kostin. How they play for the national team against better competition than NA minors average teams.

The thing I like about Bragin he takes nobody for granted. If one of the 2 or both would not perform in the series I would absolutely agree with scratching them.

Now we basically get 2nd unit tryouts. Most of the guys are no future national team players.

 

[Atas2000]

Many good players participating. Disagree.

But can they create? Good isnot good enough. We need future stars.

 

[Fantomas]

It would be nice to see more stars, that's true. Especially more centers. Too bad Khovanov got sick.

 

[sdf]

I think 2010 and 2011 series was the best
